I have a fortune book

Chapter 85 Formation of Xuanyi Guard

On July 46th in the [-]th year of Xiangxing, Zhou Bai appeared outside Dingzhou City in a hurry. This was also the first time he came here in this life.

Compared with other inland states and counties that are peaceful and prosperous, Dingzhou has only been opened for a hundred years, and it faced great military pressure at the beginning.

Horse-faced war sheds are set up every hundred steps, female walls are densely set up, and turrets are lined up, which are repaired every day and night.

Therefore, the walls are high, the walls are deep, towering, majestic and upright, and it looks like a strong city, giving people a sense of solidity, dignity, and awe-inspiring.

To be more specific, looking forward to Yiran has the potential of golden soup.

This is Zhou Bai's description of Dingzhou City. Under the catastrophe in the previous life, even though the situation was so corrupted that it was difficult to deal with it, Dingzhou City still did not fall.

Of course, the country is now peaceful and orderly, Dingzhou City has not heard of war for a hundred years, the Yadao has become a commercial street, and the sheep and horse wall has become a place for private households to raise livestock.

When passing through the tall and spacious city gate, the soldiers were not too strict. They simply checked Zhou Bai's scholar documents, and let people pass without paying the city fee.

It seems that the massacre outside Jixi City did not cause a disturbance. Perhaps the local government checked the identities of these people and knew that they should not publicize them at will.

Obviously ambushed and killed, and then killed by someone.

Not to mention whether Zhao Liangji's identity has been found out, the appearance of a controlled ordnance like the strong crossbow is a big trouble, and who else has such great energy to call these erring soldiers.

Zhou Bai deliberately didn't deal with the ending, as long as he doesn't expose himself.

Of course, there are gods everywhere in Dingzhou County, there may be gods who saw Zhou Bai enter the grove, it was just a dispute of humanity, they would not get involved.

The iron law of heaven, except that the investigation of the imperial examination supervisor gods can obtain evidence, the rest cannot be used as testimony.

If the imperial court really wanted to collect evidence, they could only ask for the overhaul of the series of yin gods and yang gods, so that they could trace back to the source and find out the clues.

However, when they touched Zhou Bai's body, Zhou Bai must have been a juren, and the investigation must be impossible.

Is it possible that the dignified new imperial examinations and even Xie Yuan will practice those Taoist methods that kill people invisible in advance?
Besides, the victims were not those "rebels" wearing night suits and carrying hidden weapons.

The city gate of Dingzhou City facing Ningjiang in the west is called Zhenjiang Gate. Just as they led the yellow-maned horse through the gate hole, Yao Ping and Yao An greeted them.

"My lord, it's great that you're fine."

Zhou Bai smiled and said: "What can I do, let's go and see what place you have arranged for me."

Although the township examination is still early, a large number of scholars have already poured into Dingzhou, which adds a bit of poetic charm to the vulgar and prosperous. Like Zhou Bai, there are not a few who come nearly a month in advance.

Everyone wants to book a hotel in advance, and then prepare for the exam, and attend various cultural conferences by the way to increase contacts and knowledge.

The time of the township examination is basically unified by all states. It starts on the sixth day of August, and lasts three days and two nights.

Why is it said that Jin Juren and Silver Scholars are not only a leap in social class, but also because the difficulty of the exam is much greater than that of the scholar.

One day for the county examination, two days for the county examination, and nine days and six nights for the Juren examination. People with slightly weaker constitutions could not complete the examination.

For this reason, some people call the Juren test the "farming ox test", because candidates can only work hard for nine days and six nights to complete all the questions only if they are as diligent and tenacious as a farm ox.

So nowadays, the heirs of the big family will pay attention to physical training, and they will also practice some boxing skills in addition to studying literature. Even Ma Liang's physique will not attract strange eyes. This is because they have a family history.

Ordinary small households, even Zhou Bai's hometown, often don't think so far.

As a result, every year in the rural examination, there will be many weak scholars who can't make it through, and often vomit blood while regretting.

Following the Yao family brothers through the streets and alleys, they came to a relatively quiet street, and further on here was the residence of the dignitaries in Zhoucheng.

Therefore, the environment and law and order in this area are excellent, but the rent is a bit more expensive.

In a secluded courtyard, Zhou Bai expressed his satisfaction. Giving you money is just a matter of business.

"That's right. I can buy this yard in the future. After I finish the exam, it can be used as your residence in Zhoucheng."

The Yao family brothers were overjoyed, not only because the first small errand was done well, but also because the young master meant to arrange tasks for them.

"My lord, just tell me, if you don't understand, we can learn!" Yao An ate a whole Ningjiang perch, his face was a little more bloody, and his speaking strength was quite strong.

Yao Ping also said in a deep voice: "We are one brother, when Yao An begged you to save me and said to be your cow and horse, how could we break our promise!"

Then the two knelt down together: "Yao Ping and Yao An have no parents, and they just want to follow the lord around, please take me in!"

"Since that's the case, Yao Ping and Yao An listened to the order, and you are now appointed as the commander of the Xuanyi Guards of the Inner Palace, responsible for guarding the inner guards and collecting military and political intelligence." Zhou Bai turned expressionlessly and said solemnly.

This is the position that Zhou Bai appointed for Yao Ping's fate characteristics. He can perceive the good and evil of people, and he can expand the scope of his ability in the future, which makes him extremely sensitive in interpersonal communication.

Moreover, he can even manage intelligence agencies with ease, and anyone who has signs of betrayal can be spotted immediately.

Although the two were still a little confused about what kind of errand it was, their first thought was to accept the appointment.

Zhou Bai finally put on a smile at this time, and stepped forward to support the two of them: "From now on, I will still be called Young Master outside, and now I will tell you about the specific tasks of Xuanyiwei..."

"Collect beggars, orphans, buy gang gangsters, brothels, docks, teahouses and other places must have news channels... As for the current starting point, you can start from the medicinal material business, and it happens that Yao An needs nourishment."

"Don't worry, although Yao An's disease is a congenital deficiency, as long as I get a Jinshi in the future, it will not be difficult to get a panacea to make up for my foundation."

They were a little confused when they heard it, but they still knew Zhou Bai's kindness to them, so there was no need to express their gratitude again.

"One month before the exam, you first learn the basics of intelligence gathering from me, and then go to the Zhuangzhuang team to train regularly." Zhou Bai certainly saw the confusion of the two of them, and there was no rush to build the structure in the initial stage.

……

In the next few days, Zhou Bai did not study behind closed doors, but participated in various literature and poetry gatherings every day, and of course had dinner appointments with scholars from various counties.

During this process, Yao Ping and Yao An obeyed Zhou Bai's command and went to various lively places where fish and dragons mixed together.

Needless to say, restaurants and restaurants, brothels and bars are also indispensable. They spend money like water, and quietly spread Zhou Bai's literary name by the way.

Whenever Zhou Bai wrote a poem at a poetry meeting, it would surely become famous the next day. Zhou Bai's name gradually became known to the people in Zhoucheng, and the Suihan Collection sold by Zhou's Bookstore also took the opportunity to occupy the market in Zhoucheng.

He has a good name, although it is not as strong as the luck brought by slowly raising his hopes, but these floating lucks can always start to work.

Time passed quickly, Zhou Bai completed the registration process, and everything was ready, only waiting for the sixth day of August.
